The "Smear-Merchants" Are Going to Have a Ball With This One, O'Reilly

Eeesh. I'm not Bill O'Reilly's biggest fan, but I don't wish ill on him either. I don't know who's telling the truth in this unseemly business.

The basic facts seem to be that an O'Reilly producer is claiming sexual harassment, and Bill O'Reilly has jumped first with a lawsuit for extortion against her.

Apparetly she wants 60 large. And by "large," I don't mean thousands. Larger than that.

Jim Lindgren examines the legal issues in play, which are every bit as interesting as speculating about the exact nature of Bill O'Reilly's alleged dirty-talk to a female producer.

Well...

Maybe that overstates it a bit. Just a bit.

I smell Top Ten.

Can you be sued for being an arrogant self-serving jackass?

Well, as was the case with Martha Stewart, it just might turn out to be the elephant in the room that can't legally be introduced at trial.

Ace, I know you can't fight the funny, but please, go easy on this one. O'Reilly and Fox did the only thing you can, faced with a blackmail attempt.

Posted by: Dianna on October 13, 2004 03:31 PM

Well, look, I don't know what's going on here. I'm not pre-judging the situation.

If I did a Top Ten, it would be silly. I'm not looking to gut the man. He annoys me. That doesn't mean I actually dislike him.

Posted by: ace on October 13, 2004 03:33 PM

I know, Ace. I'm sure it would be funny as hell, too. And O'Reilly annoys me when he gets self-important, too, yeah. But I hate the thought of someone who won't give in to blackmail, as squirmingly embarassing as this matter sounds, becoming the butt of jokes.

There's nothing harder than smiling sweetly and saying, 'Publish and be damned.' Even knowing it's the right response. No matter what, it's going to hurt you.

From the Fox complaint, we know at least some of what's going on here. The most damaging revelation is her going to his hotel room, even if she admits nothing whatsoever happened there. Find me anyone who isn't snickering, smirking and nudge-nudge-wink-winking. Except maybe me. Think how that one would have been played by the press.

So the pre-emptive strike, here, is about all Fox can do. Even I felt my eyebrows climbing for my hairline when I read that paragraph, and I should know better. I know O'Reilly's a self-righteous blowhard, and he diligently self-promotes, and so on and so forth, and it's all so deliciously naughty, but can we resist the urge to turn into Kitty Kelly, here?

Sorry about the length of the post, Ace.

Dianna,

Well, honestly, it was just going to be a Top Ten of Remarks Allegedly Made By Bill O'Reilly, like:

"You're on penis, and you're spinning, counsellor."

I mean, not really hard-hitting.

Also, possibly, not really that funny. That's the only one I've come up with, and I only came up with it now.

Posted by: ace on October 13, 2004 04:15 PM

It looks like Fox sees this as a left wing attempt at a smear campaign - ie the harassment part is just an enabler to embarrass O'Reilly and Fox at a sensitive time. Left wing conspiracy theories, anyone? Anyways, if this is their thinking, then suing first was the right answer - in a PR battle, you want to be setting the agenda, not responding to it.

Can you blame him?

If it was Keith Olbermann or Chrissy Matthews, I'd be all over this myself.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again

Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
